Reedia spathacea
Reedia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Cyperaceae. It only contains one known species, Reedia spathacea, a perennial rhizomatous geophyte endemic to Southwest Australia.
The genus name of Reedia is in honour of Joseph Reed (c. 1823 – 1890), a Cornishman by birth, was a prolific and influential Victorian era architect in Melbourne, Australia. The Latin specific epithet of spathacea is derived from spathaceus meaning spathed, derived from spatha, meaning blade.
